Who Dunit? is one of the most original comedy-mystery plots of all time. What happens when a famous mystery writer is murdered, goes to heaven and discovers that not even St. Michael knows who murdered her? There's only one answer: Saint Michael sends her back to earth to relive the past twenty-four hours of her life and solve the mystery!  Audience participation makes this a fun play for all!

There are still openings on the...


Boy's Grade 4-6

It's a great way to build skills, make friends, and have a positive teamwork experience.  Practices for this age group (Boy's "C") are Thursdays here at the school from 5:30-7:00pm and games are on Sunday afternoons/evenings.  

Please contact Mr. Chris Guenette, the head coach, at  [email protected]  or by phone 508-717-4369 if you are at all interested, or know someone who might be, for more info.



 Orders will be available for pick up starting  Tuesday, 11/15

If you would like your gift card orders sent home with your child we will need written permission from you.  Otherwise we will hold them in the office for an in-person pick up.   Click here to email Mrs. Reis. Please understand that once they leave the office, the responsibility for the cards is yours.

This week's adventures...
Our week was a quick one, that was tainted with sadness, yet uplifted by fond memories of our "small wonder", Tori Varieur.  The 'hint of pink" participation on Tuesday was a beautiful outward reflection of our love and support for Victoria's family, not only on the day of her funeral, but during the weeks and months ahead.  Please continue to pray as a family for Victoria's family, who is experiencing grief on a level that is unimaginable. 

Our parent-teacher conferences were very well attended!   It was certainly a welcome busyness in the building as parents filtered in, flowing through the hallways and visiting with their child(ren)'s teachers.  Thank you to all of the parents who took the time out of their schedules to attend these conferences.  Your involvement and participation in your child's education is a recipe for success!  When parents attend conferences,  a supportive partnership is created between parent and teacher, which in turn results in an increased probability that our students will perform 
well here at school.  
Thank you for collaborating with us!

Another long weekend is upon us as we not only enjoy a Friday off, but also take the time to reflect upon and pray for those who have served our country.  Remember to pray for all of these courageous men and women at Mass with your families on Sunday... 
or even Friday and Sunday! 
Happy Veteran's Day!

    Have a wonderful weekend and 
God bless.
